Does School Segregation Cause Achievement Gaps? Rejoinder to Fuller et al. (2022)
The Scandinavian Prison Study
Comparing Effects of Family and School Factors on Cross-national Academic Achievement using the 2009 and 2006 Pisa Surveys
This paper investigates whether international differences in math and science achievement, and specifically the lower US scores, can be explained by family socioeconomic status (SES) and differences in school factors. Using 2009 and 2006 PISA data for the ten largest developed OECD countries, the results show that, while family SES has a strong effect on students' achievement, it does not explain the US achievement gap with other large developed …

Changing Minority Representation in the U.S. Military
The Department of Defense has always sought a socially representative enlisted force, especially with respect to African American and Hispanic minorities. Ideally, in a democratic society a military force should be representative of the nation it defends. African American overrepresentation was a major concern during the first decade of the All-Volunteer Force (AVF), while Hispanics were underrepresented. During the 1980s black representation sta…

Race and Gender in the U.S. Military
The issues of race and gender representation in the military have been raised recently, the first because of the Persian Gulf War and the second because of the change in combat job restrictions. The history of these interrelated issues is reviewed, recent trends in enlistment and applicant rates are presented, and current policies regarding race and gender representation are evaluated. The article suggests that recruiting ceilings for women could…
The slavery debate in antebellum America
This article explores the relations among value conflict, cognitive style, and policy preferences in pre-Civil War America. Drawing on major historical works, prominent political figures were classified into 1 of 4 political positions: abolitionists, free-soil Republicans who would tolerate slavery in the South but prevent further spread, Buchanan Democrats who would permit slavery in new territories, and advocates of slavery. Results revealed (a…

"Response to Carr and Zeigler's "White Flight and White Return in Norfolk
As Caff and Zeigler (1990) stated their critique of my 1982 study of white flight and white return Norfolk, my analysis and predictions assumed that mandatory busing would end all grades by fall 1982. Although the Norfolk School Board voted to end busing 1983, it did so only for elementary grades K-5 and, because of court actions and appeals, that policy was not implemented until fall 1986. But Carr and Zeigler reach their conclusions that in pra…

Professors' Attitudes Toward the Vietnam War
Are college professors really radicals and leftists as shown by their Vietnam War attitudes? To what extent are they interested in and informed about the war? How do their attitudes compare with those of the public at large? And why do they have the opinions they do? This paper gives the surprising results of a sample survey of professors in seventeen colleges in the Boston area

The relatives of schizophrenic patients
Relatives of acutely, ill, hospitalized schizophrenic patients were assessed for their potential resourcefulness. The assessment was based on nine personal and psychiatric traits. Seventy-five per cent of the sample had at least mild potential for resourcefulness. Wives, fathers and siblings were overrepresented in this group whereas mothers and husbands constituted the group of relatives with poor or no potential for resourcefulness
